[quote=Anonymous]This isn’t relevant for a 7 year old, but something to consider for the future: teens and adults who don’t get treatment for ADHD are at risk for self medicating with illegal drugs or alcohol because they have such a hard time functioning. Our developmental pediatrician told us that children with ADHD who are medicated develop more neural connections than those who aren’t medicated. The medication doesn’t form the connections; it merely helps children maintain focus on non preferred subjects. That focus aids the learning process, which is what builds the neural connections. That clinched our decision to medicate. Have your child’s prescriber talk to your spouse about their specific concerns.[/quote]
